Monsters

Apparently monsters have taken up permanent residence here at our house. The kids (especially Tater) is obsessed with them. I’ve finally started telling him that Daddy eats monsters. It makes him feel better except in the middle of the night. After about 3 weeks of struggling with these darn monsters, we finally went and bought nightlights.

Problem solved. I wish we would have made that purchase a long time ago!! We have had 3 nights of uninterrupted sleep! YEAH!!

Now if I could just figure out a solution to leg cramps and and nightmares I might actually get some sleep! In the meantime, I’ve started taking some prenatals. No, not cuz I’m prego, just because i’m sure I need some GOOD vitamins…surprisingly enough, I have more energy and I’ve been much more motivated to accomplish things and I feel happier! I guess they must be doing something!

At church yesterday Tater was being a little loud so I say, “Tater shhh” to which he responds in a much louder voice “No. I BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!”. I say “ok Buzz, shhh!” As I would forget and call his name he would get louder and louder. Finally we had to leave so that Buzz would be quiet!

Superkid asks me yesterday which finger is the “bad word finger” I told him which one and then he kept asking if he could hold it up! Go figure! ;o)

Then he asks me if I think it means a bad word and if he can just hold that one up here at home. Sorry kid - no can do!

Dear Dishes-fairy

Dear Dishes-fairy,
I’m writing to clear up any mis-communication that we may have. You may be under the impression that I do not believe in you becuase in years past I never left a dirty dish in the sink. I want to make sure you know that this is not true. I DO believe in you!!!
To show you how much I care, I will be leaving dishes in the sink especially for you. Don’t be shy! Don’t be discouraged if I do this frequently, I just want to make up for years past and show you how much I truly care.

Oh, and if you see your cousin, the Laundry-fairy, feel free to bring her along!

Sincerely Yours,

Awnya Boam

Passed Out

Vein Puncture Syndrome. That’s what it has been diagnosed as. I know you are thinking “What does veins and passing out have in common?” The answer is genes…

It all started when Cookie got a brain freeze. She screamed bloody murder (scared us all to death!) arched her back and went completely limp. Luckily I was standing next to her and caught her on her way down as she was sitting on a bar stool. We gently helped her to the floor and she was then wide awake as if nothing had happened. Strange. It happened about a month later…same situation…ice cream and a brain freeze than then the scream and limp. This time she was on a chair and I was again standing next to her and caught her arm to stop her fall.
2 time in 1 month…we took her to the Dr. - he referred us to a Neurologist.

My husband gets woozy when he sees or gives blood. Has for ever since he can remember. This is called vein puncture syndrome and is hereditary. Basically it means that when something happens, it makes them pass out. The Dr. has seen kids that when they bump their elbow they will pass out…with my daughter, it’s a brain freeze…stimulus = something cold, response = passing out.

It has been 2 years. We’ve eaten ice cream …lots! and nothing. Yesterday at Sams Club they had a taste test for frozen fruit. Cookie took too big of a bite and suddenly she was screaming (not as loud as before) and going limp. I was really worried that she was choking because it was a chunk of fruit, not ice cream.
Thankfully she was sitting in the basket of the cart by where I was so I caught her head. We had a crowd of staring people! It was great!

So I guess she hasn’t grown out of it…and from now on…when she eats cold things, she sits on the floor!!!

I spy

We like to play “I Spy” while we are driving around in the car lately. It keeps the kids from fighting and they are learning their colors really well! Last night we were playing for about 10 minutes and as we got close to home someone announced their “I Spy” and Tater yells out “Reindeer! MY turn!!”
